Rotor Clip CG-100SJ External Spiral Retaining Ring 1 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP CG-100SJ is an external spiral retaining ring designed to secure components on a 1-inch diameter shaft without the need for grooved tooling or removal tools on one side. Manufactured from AISI 302 stainless steel to AMS-5866 standards, this ring seats into a 0.94-inch groove diameter and provides reliable axial retention in rotating or stationary assemblies. With a ring thickness of 0.042 inches and a groove width of 0.046 inches, it delivers a precise, low-profile fit. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of ring across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This external spiral retaining ring is suited for use in shaft assemblies where a single-turn or multi-turn spiral ring is specified. Common applications include electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors, and light industrial machinery where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 302 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. It is typically used in both OEM production builds and field maintenance repairs requiring a drop-in ring replacement.

Key Features

• External spiral ring design seats into a 0.94-inch groove on a 1-inch shaft
• AISI 302 stainless steel construction meets AMS-5866 and ISO 13485:2016 standards
• Ring thickness of 0.042 inches with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 0.002 inches
• Groove width of 0.046 inches with a tolerance of 0.000 to 0.003 inches for precise seating
• Free outside diameter of 1.102 inches allows installation without special snap-ring pliers
• Oil finish applied to reduce friction and resist corrosion during storage and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style external spiral retaining ring for 1-inch diameter shafts with a 0.94-inch groove diameter machined to accept AISI 302 AMS-5866 spiral ring specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of external spiral retaining rings is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance machinists using standard retaining ring pliers or manual winding tools appropriate for spiral ring profiles. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing shaft assemblies. Verify groove diameter, groove width, and groove depth against part specifications before installation to ensure proper seating and axial load capacity. Do not reuse a ring that has been visibly deformed or overstressed during removal.
